Wow! My wife is beautiful and obedient, everyone envies her!

Ryan's smile deepened upon hearing her words.

"You're above me? Do you really have more power than me now?" Ryan raised an eyebrow and looked at her coldly.

"Women in the Northern Continent listen to their fathers at home and their husbands outside. Even if your father has more power than me, why do you think he would still take in a hot potato like me?"

"I asked Ryan."

When Dani heard his question, she paused for a moment, her mind racing.

She actually knew, but she didn't want to say it.

“If he didn’t want to become more powerful in the North, he could have just handed us over and avoided Noah’s targeting. But the fact that he agreed to let us go to him proves that he wants to gain more and more power.”

Ryan raised an eyebrow and glanced at her. "Even though I'm being hunted by the Davis family now, it's true that I have Davis blood in my veins. As long as Noah dies, the situation of being hunted will instantly reverse. That's what your father values. He thinks that by helping me this time, he can gain more and higher power in the future."

Dani's father was a member of the Federation's navy. The Federation's position in the North Continent has always been awkward. On the surface, they have to pretend to be a good person, listen to the opinions of the people, and do things for them when they have nothing to do.

But in reality, they were restricted by the four major families and were, in a sense, their dogs, because they had to do whatever the four major families told them to do.

The four major families get all the good work, while the dirty and tiring work is done by them.

Dani's father, Cartlett Barrett, had long been tired of this life. He had 80,000 navy men and dozens of warships, making him the strongest naval force in the North.

People become extremely complacent and arrogant once they have power, and Carterlett was no exception. That's why he couldn't stand the arrogance of the four great families and the incompetence of the Federation.

He had been trying to change the status quo in the North, but the best way he could think of was to marry into the Davis family and get their help to change the status quo in the North.

But Cartlett's ultimate goal was only to profit himself, so Ryan's collaboration with him was successful after just a few casual words.

Of course, there was another reason why Cartlitt agreed to cooperate with him so readily... Cartlitt was homophobic and had no son.

Noah's attraction to men made him realize that he had no other means of infiltrating the Davis family and could only gamble on Ryan.

Winning a bet makes you a superior person, while losing only means death.

He's old, so he's not that afraid of death.

Knowing all this, Ryan knew that his father-in-law would definitely stand by his side and would not betray him.

Dani understood all of this, but not wanting to appear weak, she said, "What you say makes a lot of sense, but what can you do now? Stay cooped up in this small town and never go out to see anyone?"

"That's not something you should worry about. You just need to stay here quietly, don't cause any trouble, and don't bother me," Ryan said lazily.

Dani looked at him, snorted coldly, and said, "I haven't had a single good day since I married you. You and Dad have really ruined my life!" Then she turned and left.

As soon as she left, Chad came over.

He looked at his father with a hint of awe in his eyes. "Dad, are we really going to wait until spring to leave?"

Chad said worriedly, "Now that the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, we are running slowly, and those who are chasing us are also running slowly. If we wait until spring to leave, then Port Lanelli will probably be full of people from the four major families."

Ryan looked at his timid son, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. "I have my own plans. Just stay quiet and don't bother me for now, just like your mother."

Chad was left speechless by the rebuttal.

Finally, no one bothered me.

Ryan closed his eyes and rested again.

Another day in Juecheng was drawing to a close.

Night enveloped the entire city of Jue, and every household lit up their lamps, sweeping away some of the darkness.

Snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

After a long and eventful day, Qi Yuan finally returned home.

He's had a really tough day running around.

After talking with Crawford, he finally found Xiu.

Xiu told Daphne about her misunderstanding.

Upon hearing this, Xiu laughed and said it was nothing, adding that since Noah was injured, he could go and seek benefits again.

Xiu was indeed not afraid of the trouble that would come his way because of Noah.

After all, solving Noah's problems would bring rewards, and quite generous ones at that.

Therefore, all he needs to do is focus on surviving the danger.

He was open-minded, but Qi Yuan was worried that his impulsive joke might harm him.

But having said all he could, Qi Yuan stopped worrying about it.

I was originally planning to go and talk to Lennon about the contract.

However, considering the customs of the North Continent, he chose to go home and write a letter to the Milne family, inviting Lennon to meet the next day to discuss the restaurant collaboration.

If he were to search for people everywhere like a headless fly, it would really exhaust him.

The winters in the North Continent are truly terrifying.

Even though my body is warm and I'm wearing a lot of clothes, the warmth just can't reach my exposed face.

If you get exposed to the cold wind for a while, you'll shiver so much that you won't even know what you're saying.

When I got home, I had dinner and played with little Petty for a while.

Qi Yuan went back to his room to write a letter to Lennon, waiting for the Davis family's servants to deliver it to the Milne family the next day.

After finishing these tasks, Qi Yuan got busy with other things.

I only went to bed when I saw the clock on the wall had struck eleven.

Noah returned at midnight.

When he returned and saw Qi Yuan asleep, he tiptoed over, took a shower, and then went to sleep.

Unexpectedly, just as he lay down, Qi Yuan, who should have been asleep, turned around and looked at him.

"You're so busy today?"

"Yes, there's so much work to do, we can't even finish it all."

As he spoke, Noah snuggled into Qi Yuan's arms like a child, acting all cute and affectionate.

Qi Yuan reached out and hugged him, patting his back comfortingly.

After charging for a while, Noah looked up at Qi Yuan and said, "Baby, the head of the Leopold family came to see me today. He said you're going to work for Crofford? Have I been mean to you? Is the money I gave you not enough...? No, did I give you any money?"

Noah suddenly began to reflect.

He remembered that Qi Yuan would just take what he wanted to buy and then have the shopkeeper deliver the bill to Davis's house.

He never let Qi Yuan touch a single penny of the Davis family's money!

"With you by my side, do I have to worry about money?" Qi Yuan countered.

Noah asked in confusion, "Then why did you go to work for Crofford? And why did you tell him you wanted to find a way out for yourself?"

Qi Yuan touched his nose, somewhat embarrassed, and told Noah his thoughts. He simply wanted to join in the fun and see when wireless communication would be completed; he had no other intentions.

In addition, he also told Noah what he had said to Daphne during their meeting today.

In fact, Noah had already learned all of this from Asa when he returned to his room.

He asked Qi Yuan these questions again, simply to tease him. So when Qi Yuan spoke, he pretended to be deep and sad, saying, "Baby, you've become bad."
